ROASTED PEARS WITH LABNEH
Serves 1, Ready in 25 Minutes
If I’m working from home on a cold winter’s morning, this is what gets me up! Sweet roasted pears with raisins, homemade quince jam and labneh is such a simple yet delicious breakfast but can also be a great dessert too.
Labneh is perfect for this but you can always swap it for a thick Greek yoghurt, or similar alternative, if you can’t get ahold of it. You can also add some toasted nuts on here if you like.
INGREDIENTS
1 Pear, thinly sliced
A good pinch of dark brown sugar
1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
100g Labneh
1 Teaspoon honey
1 Tablespoon homemade quince jam (see recipe here)
1 Teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Small handful of raisins
METHOD
Heat the oven to 200 degrees (180 degrees fan).
Gently massage the brown sugar into both sides of the pear slices and place them on a baking tray.
Bake the pear slices in the oven for 20 minutes until roasted.
Meanwhile, prepare the rest of the plate. Using a hand-held whisk, whip the labneh until thick like the consistency of whipped cream.
Spoon the quince jam on top and sprinkle the raisins and a little cinnamon on top.
Place the warm roasted pears on top of everything and drizzle with honey before serving.
